Welcome to Jeremy Hardy Speaks to the Nation, a series of debates in which Jeremy Hardy engages in a free and frank exchange of his entrenched views. Passionate, polemical, erudite, and unable to sing, Jeremy returns with a new series of his show, famous for lines like - "Kids should never be fashion slaves, especially in the Far East. My 12-year-old daughter asked me for a new pair of trainers. I told her she was old enough to go out and make her own," and, "Islam is no weirder than Christianity. Both are just Judaism with the jokes taken out."

Story
When Jeremy Hardy decided to explore his ancestry it was, in part, to get to the bottom of his grandmother Becky’s dubious claims that the family descended from a certain 17th-century architect and that, more recently, Jeremy’s great grandfather was personal bodyguard and confidant to the King. Other legends range from the uncle who died in police custody to the wronged Victorian aunt who bore an illegitimate son.

All four series of the hilarious historical sitcom set just before and during the American Revolution. Baltimore, 1770, and shopkeeper Samuel Oliphant has much to worry about. Storm clouds are gathering, business is bad and to make matters worse, he’s been forced to play host to two British soldiers. Hapless officer Captain Brimshaw is decent enough, but his fellow redcoat - the one-eyed, one-eared, one-armed and one-legged Sergeant McGurk - is a shameless rascal obsessed with money and sex.

Summary
With special guest stars Jack Dee, Armando Iannucci and John Oliver (The Daily Show), Jeremy looks at New Year�s Resolutions and the traditions and history of the calendar.. And finds that marking the end of one year and the start of another is not always simple. As Jeremy says - "Julius Caesar had to resynchronise the calendar with the sun by letting the year 47 BC run for 445 days. That�s one hell of a countdown when you�re standing with an itchy finger on the string of a party popper..."
"The master of quietly inflammatory comedy" - (The Evening Standard)
"Made me drop the kettle in shock , but worth it" - (The Daily Telegraph)
"The one-liners come hit the target time and again so that you�ve hardly stopped grinning from one gag before the next one comes along" - (The Evening Standard)
